What if the “ghosts” in our DNA are not lost steps in human evolution? A new Science study found DNA patterns that may point to two unknown human groups. Conventional scientists place these groups deep in the past.

Rather, it found small marsupials with working teeth. These teeth had an important function, but their proposed history comes from a model.
The team d... More...
What looked like a rainbow had formed a complete circle around the sun. The ring was pale, bright, and almost perfectly round. But it was not a rainbow at all—it was actually a 22-degree solar halo. This brief, beautiful display tells us that precise geometry and dependable physical laws can turn countless tiny ice crystals into visible order and beauty.
Solar halos often form in thin cirrus or cirrostratus (wispy and thin)... More...
